Doesn't address the core issue, but...

IIRC, the folders that contain a Steam UserIDs save game data are named after the game's Steam AppID. You can look them up here (https://steamdb.info/apps/). I admit it's certainly not a solution to the discoverability problem when navigating a filesystem, as there are over 100,000 AppIDs and growing at this point.

You could also use [Protontricks](https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks) as such :

  protontricks -s <search_term>

and it will return anything that matches the search query with its appid like :

  Found the following games:
  Grand Theft Auto V (271590)

They are. I always just google the game and copy it out of the store URL:

  https://store.steampowered.com/app/573100/Battlefleet_Gothic_Armada_2/
                                     ¯¯¯¯¯¯

These are exposed to the Linux filesystem, right? Can you just add a symlink?

Yes, but it would be nice if the Steam Client did that for us.

Could submit an issue/MR so someone could tackle it

Sure
